Hi,
Strange issue. I have set group policy on the user side (As I have been told if set on both you can have config issues) I’ve set the proxy on the connection option within Internet Explorer Maintenance. For some reason the group policy isn’t kicking in. but on the policy all looks fine. Any idea’s??
More info.
I am working on a windows 2003 server with xp machines.
Cheers
Steve

Did you make sure the group policy got updated on the clients (either with the command line, or by restarting the client computer)?
Have you user RSoP on the server to make sure the policies will in fact be applied correctly to the users?

Yeah i have forced replication on the server while restarting the use's machine.
No i dont use RSoP, how will this help?

Using RSoP or the Group Policy Results Wizard will allow you to make sure the policy you want will actually be applied to a particular client. I've had situations before where I though everything was set up right, but after looking at the Group Policy Results Wizard discovered some other GPO was taking precedent over a setting, the GPO was not configured to apply to the right users, etc.

So you've configured proxy settings for Internet Explorer via a GPO, and have confirmed that the setting should be applied to the target computers by using RSoP, yet the target clients don't reflect this setting?
Did you look at the link I posted? This can be a known problem depending on the other settings in the GPO.

No. I have configured so it applies to user's and not computers. Reason being we need to monitor 80% of the company and the rest has free roaming on the internet

This issue may occur if the Slow Links was detected. Look in
Computer Config / Administrative Templates / System / Group Policy / Internet Explorer Maintenance Policy Processing
And set:
-"Allow processing across a slow network connection"
-"process even if the Group Policy objects have not changed"
to enabled.If the client is a Windows XP computer, try to disable Fast Logon Optimization.

Any luck getting this resolved? I have the same problem. I've checked permissions, policies block and inheritance, everything is correct.
I've had this problem before, I believe that's why I originally quite using IE policies.
Regards,

Just a thought... you said "I have set group policy on the user side", what do you mean by that?
In an AD domain, group policys are hierarchic. If you have set group policy on the OU holder and have another GP higher up (for example on the domain holder) that contradicts the lower one, it won't be applied.
